Just the right present for young children. ― Shetland Times
Everyone knows the Grimm’s stories, from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty. Here, in this superbly illustrated version aimed at younger children, there are also less familiar tales: King Thrushbeard and The Goose Girl. Just the right present for young children. ―

15 Classic Tales
I had this book in my “save file” for sometime and finally purchased when the price dropped. I have been looking for a good translation of the Grimm Fairy Tales. Not sure this is it. Stories are too repetitive with those my granddaughter already has.I was expecting a larger format, but the smaller size would be good for school-age readers. The book includes 15 stories from the Grimm Brothers, plus a short chapter about the two brothers. Most of the tales were familiar to me, a couple were not.The illustrations would probably appeal to kids, fairly “commercial” in style. Nothing special. The translation also seems to be adapted for today’s children, especially young readers.While I like Usborne books, I decided to return this one.

Grimm’s for 5-7 year olds
Although there are few illustrations, a child’s vivid imagination can fill in the gaps. Facial expressions of the storyteller are just as effective. The lessons learned are appropriate for this age group. The original tales found in other collections, literally translated are best for 12+ years. This book is written for a younger audience. Think of it as a stepping stone to engage the young ones in learning about fairytales written long ago.
